I'd got the first one but I hadn't realized that the second mission was included and continues from the first mission! So many multi-mission campaigns download as separate missions. For instance, I have recently started an FM I'd had for some time (zip file = shorecreek); it looked strangely familiar yet somehow different. After a while I realized it was the second part of one I'd already completed 6 months or a year ago and the maps overlap slightly. What a shame. I'd have loved to continue straight into this after the first one. I think the original was Errand Boy but I get titles mixed up. I don't recall seeing anything that said this Shining Standards is a two-mission pack and Max missed it too which suggest that maybe authors should more prominently flag their work so their is no doubt whatsoever (such as Calendra's Legacy). In fact I didn't see any briefing text file in Darkloader. I've just found it now in the T2 folder and it does say it is a 2-mission pack. I hope there is some event at the end of the first mission that makes it clear that the action continues! :) -- Brian [email brian AT fidcal.com]
